NASCAR Fantasy League 2019

[thechaoz]

I had four drivers in the top 12 with 22 laps to go and then
all hell broke out.

I as well Bud. Managed some points though

[Plaza23]

I don’t think I like the scoring system.

I had Busch and Hamlin (the top 2) and only scored 421 points which was only 80% tile.

You’d think if you picked 2 drivers that finished 1st/2nd you’d have more.

[reigle9]

few big names ahead of me

i want them all fukkin dead

[LT Profits]

Please let me know if something looks off, especially the 8 guys listed with no entries submitted.

[reigle9]

oh will do, im all over this shit this year

bigT
optional

thats all ha, i made it to 30

[LT Profits]

Regardless, we have at least 97 members, nice start considering we ended with 100 entries last year.

[packerd_00]

Keselowski was a pretty popular pick eh.

[LT Profits]

Keselowski was a pretty popular pick eh.

No surprise considering he started around 35th.

[packerd_00]

No surprise considering he started around 35th.

I would say that should make him less of a desirable pick, to be honest mate. He wasn't a cheap driver.

Good drivers starting in the back are always desirable in a league like this that scores passing points.

He didn't perform as great as id hoped to be honest. His saving grace was surviving the wrecks, although he did manage to get smacked a couple of times.just wasn't bad enough that it destroyed his car like some of the others.

[RudyRuetigger]

I knew nascar subforum was pretty sharp

But wow look at those standings

Most nascar guys are towards the top

You guys must've racked up in matchups

[agendaman]

came across this stat today for the last 5 years at atlanta motor speedway total laps led harvick 915 next closest driver jj 146 unreal

He was not bad though, had eighth most points in the league and probably the most among the guys that were salaried at 11K+.

[LT Profits]

And that is why Harvick has the highest salary at $12,400

[chico2663]

434 can’t be bad for guessing and never watching a nascar race in my life...

you suck. i been playing this shit for over a year and have never hit that high.

[5mike5]

Throw old stats out the window with new engines and aero packages. Scary stuff for me and betting lol might have to throw every driver and track notebook I have away. Lol

That finish is good for brad there. Finished 31.5 avg at Daytona last few year. Hes a dega man

[LT Profits]

Scoring rules changed this year, his 434 may have been 234 last year.

[pavyracer]

Do you get bonus points when all your drivers manage to crash their vehicles?

it sounds ridiculous , but i learned daytona and dega are very different tracks because playastation lol

daytona is very narrow, dega has all the room in the world

[seaborneq]

What am I missing here? The highest scoring person with Denny Hamlin finished 21st. Is there any benefit to picking the winner of the race or just the knuckleheads at the back who pass others but doesn't win??

[5mike5]

This game is highly weighted on pt diff. Much more important than stating up front and winning the race. I dont really know much else about it besides that. Lol

I gave a big hint in Post #326.

Remember this league gives TWO points for every position gained, the old FOX game we used before the current site gave one point per gain. That said, there is more to it than that, but positions gained is a major piece of it.

I wish he had changed it so position difference wasn't so important.

Positions gained should be maybe 1.5 points per position, and positions lost should only be 1 point.

Congrats to Mikemca and Yisman

[jrgum3]

Scoring on this site is similar to Draftkings format. Place differential is huge which is why Keselowski was probably the highest owned driver across the site followed by Kyle Busch who started 31st and made his way all the way to the front to finish 2nd to score the most fantasy points.

[packerd_00]

He was not bad though, had eighth most points in the league and probably the most among the guys that were salaried at 11K+.

He was my best driver for sure, he just wasn't up front much at all. Daytona is always a crapshoot for the most part, kudos to anyone that survived it with a strong finish.

[mikejamm]

JFC! One race and already out of it for the fuk'in season! Daytona is such a fuk'in crap shoot and can make or break the whole damn contest. Just fuk'in dismal.

If scores like 700+ are possible, then no one is out of it early this year.

Too big a swings possible.

I had Kurt Busch instead of Erik Jones as only difference compared to Rob in 3rd place, and was 131 points behind him just on that one pick.

[LT Profits]

For the record, there were only two scoring changes from last year and the 2 points per position gained was not one of them as that was the case last year too. The two changers were the doubling of position finish points, which should theoretically help offset the two points per pass somewhat, and the addition of stage points, which could add a max of 10 points per stage.

[agendaman]

i just cannot settle on a final lineup until qualifying is over and we see where drivers will start from place differential counts a lot as we know suppose a driver say larsen starts 35th and finishes 6th. so he moved up 29 spotsx2pts. per spot getting 58 pts. and he also gets say 88 pts. for ending up 6th. total of 146 pts. not bad for 1 driver

Well, YEAH. I never set my lineup until qualifying is over, that is why I hated the couple of races last year when qualifying was on Sunday, same day as raceday.

[dudekid]

Jeeeezus it wouldve been better if I didnt make any picks at all

Thanks for absolutely nothing, Bubba fukkin crybaby ass Wallace

Ah well, dont you worry I am just giving yall a head start. No quitting here. As they say, "we're on to Atlanta"

Yep. And when Jones' car lost fuel pressure, I figured he had no chance for a top finish. Then the car fixes itself, he gets into a big wreck and still finishes third.
Luck...

When Standings are officially run, supposedly tonight, they will include two new members bringing the total to 99: klemopixx (281) and Flocko76 (241). Those scores do not impact top 3 spots. Payouts (both weekly Betpoints and special Daytona BTC) should be processed tomorrow (Thursday). Also, once standings are posted, it should mean that the bugs have been worked out and that it should be smooth sailing the rest of the way. with standings posted on site a few hours after each race becomes official and SBR weekly Betpoint payouts processed Mondays.

Also, in case you have not notices, Atlanta salaries have been up since Monday for those of you inclined to submit lineups early.
